Chapter 305 Alchemist 1 Star Assessment
The young man nodded and did not refuse. The old man took out a crystal ball and asked him to concentrate and recall the most memorable scene, then touch the crystal ball with his forehead. The young man did not refuse and did as the old man said. Then the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and just when the old man was overjoyed, the crystal ball went out instantly. The old man's breathing was interrupted, and it took him a long time to remember. He took a few quick breaths. It was really strange. Judging from the brightness just now, he should have a good mental talent, but why did it last so short, as if it had been sucked away.
After trying several times, the result was always the same. The old man was a little disappointed. He threw down a meditation book and left. Xiaowan looked at the teacher's disappointed eyes and sighed. However, she took a deep breath and said to the boy, "I will teach you meditation tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you don't have the talent. You just need to work hard the day after tomorrow."
Just like that, the young man had one more task in his day, which was meditation. However, no matter how he meditated, his mental strength seemed to have not improved. However, the meditation method thrown down by the old man was not some ordinary stuff, but a meditation method that helped to repair mental strength, and the level was not low, and it seemed to be better than Xingluo's previous meditation method. This made Xingluo never expect it. He didn't expect that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the border town, which really shocked him. You know, he is already a magician, and ordinary things can't shock him at all. He didn't expect to open his eyes today. He couldn't help but wonder what the identity of this old man was, or whether this meditation method was just obtained by chance.
The boy carved the magic circle day and night. Xiaowan felt sorry for him and always comforted him when he was eating: "Don't worry, the teacher won't say anything even if you take a night off. I will help you persuade the teacher tomorrow and I will definitely keep you here."
The young man had a good attitude. He looked at Xiaowan and said, "Thank you, Xiaowan. I will definitely carve out a complete fireball formation diagram tonight."
Xiaowan sighed. She hadn't checked the boy's progress for half a month because the magic circle he drew was so ugly that even a three-year-old child could draw better than him.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the house. The teacher and Xiaowan got up very early today. They both looked at the table next to the window at the same time. The silver-haired boy who was always there was not there today for some reason.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the teacher's face. "Humph, he can't even make it through a month, Xiao Wan. That's why I didn't agree to let you take him in. Even if he doesn't have the talent, as long as he works hard, I can agree. But if he can't even make it through a month, then that's all he can achieve in the future."
The teacher was about to leave when Xiaowan exclaimed, grabbed the old man who had already turned around and said, "Teacher, look over there."
The teacher looked at Xiaowan with a puzzled look, but still looked in the direction of her hands. She saw that Xiaowan was holding a magic circle diagram that had just been carved. The fireball magic circle was meticulously carved on it. Although it was not very beautiful, it was a finished work. By importing fire magic power, the fireball spell could also be released.
The teacher's eyes flashed with relief, and he was extremely shocked. The boy endured great pain every time he carved, and he actually completed the carving under such circumstances. It was not easy. He didn't know what the boy had been through, why it was so painful to draw a simple line, and what kind of injury the boy had suffered on his upper right hand that was always wearing gloves. But he knew that everyone had their own secrets, and he didn't want to explore them. Then he asked with some doubts: "Since he has finished carving, why did he disappear?"
Xiaowan looked around, and then found Xingluo curled up in a ball and sleeping soundly in the shadow of a corner. "Teacher, he must be too tired and fell asleep somewhere."
This was the first time Xingluo slept since coming to the town.
The teacher was slightly stunned, and looked in the direction of Xiaowan's gaze. The boy was breathing evenly and was catching up on his sleep. He couldn't help but smile, but a hint of doubt also flashed across his mind. With his mental strength, he ignored the boy at first.
"Starting tomorrow, both of you will learn alchemy from me. Although drawing magic circles is the basics of the basics, some common sense of alchemy is still indispensable." The old man said slowly.
Xiaowan looked at the teacher with silver hair and gentle eyes and said in surprise: "Okay, Mr. Nicken."
So the next day, through the dim light of morning, there was a young man in the shop of this border town. Two students and a teacher became the most common sight when passers-by walked past the shop. The teacher taught patiently, the students studied hard, and the young man's persistence seemed to have infected Xiaowan. Although Xiaowan couldn't stay up late to study like the young man, or even go without sleep, she was very curious why the other party could go without sleep for a long time when his mental strength was obviously not strong.
Teacher Nicken did not ask any further questions about this, and Xiaowan also tacitly did not ask the teacher or the boy this question, just like the boy always wore a glove on his right hand, and his left hand also wore a thick glove when he was not drawing a magic circle.
Teacher Niken found that although the boy seemed to have no talent in drawing magic circles and mental power, he was extremely good at alchemy theory. He could immediately draw inferences about what he had said once, and even when Niken mixed in advanced alchemy knowledge, he was able to understand it immediately. Every time this happened, Teacher Niken would always sigh in his heart, wondering how could he have such a poor talent when he had such an excellent brain. Maybe this is just like what the ancestors said, when the God of Light closes a door for a person, he will also leave a window. It depends on whether this person can push open the door through hard work.
This is the third month that the boy has been studying here. He can only learn to carve one magic circle in a month. The speed is neither fast nor slow, but if you see the time this boy has put in, you will find that his talent is really too poor. It takes the boy three or even four times as long as others to reach the level of an ordinary alchemist.
Now the boy has become an out-and-out One-Point Star Alchemist. On the day of the exam, he did not use his right hand, but just used his left hand to slowly carve the magic circle diagram, and when the time was up, he had just finished carving it.
Xiaowan accompanied the boy to complete the test. She was cheering him on in her heart, especially when the time was almost up. She was so nervous that she just kept turning around in circles. Even when she was taking the test herself, she didn't seem so nervous.
